Yummy Eats & a Linkup

A few weeks ago, I celebrated my birthday.  My daughter took her fiance’s mother and me to go see Mary Poppins, and then she also came over for a little birthday celebration with my husband and myself.  I made all of her favorite foods.  Since she’s announcing today that she is moving, I’m finally able to share the news.  I’m so happy for her, but also very sad that I won’t be able to see her.  Well, during my birthday celebration I made all of her favorite foods because I know that she will miss them, and she always tells me that hers don’t come out as good as mine.  She loves open sandwiches (I think that’s what they’re called here in the U.S., these are very common in Europe), crepes with filling, and something called racuchy.  I’m not sure if there is anything like this in the U.S., but it’s almost like an apple pancake.  It’s chopped up apples, or you can make them into a shape of a donut (whichever you prefer, but the first way is much easier because you don’t have to take the middle of the apple out), covered in a crepe like dough mixture.  The crepes are filled with a cream cheese filling mixed with raisins and craisins.  My daughter isn’t a huge fan of craisins, but my husband is, so my daughter had to compromise.  The sandwiches included a lot of different things, but the main ingredients for these are sardines as the spread, a type of deli meat (preferably ham or roast beef), cheese, tomato, pickle, onion (just not for my daughter, she’s not a fan of onions), a small drop of ketchup, and a small drop of mayo, along with salt and pepper if you’d like.

My daughter used to eat these things growing up and she always said that I did a better job making them.  I enjoy cooking and preparing food, especially for my kids.  My son has been out of state ever since he went off to Boston University, and has worked in many different cities since.  My daughter moved to Texas several years ago and then came back.  Now she’s moving to another state that is also far.  I can’t say where because she asked me to keep it a secret until she makes the final announcement on her Instagram/Blog.  I will only have my husband to feed, and it’s not as enjoyable because he inhales his food, whereas my children sit and enjoy their food haha.

I would like to wish my daughter the best with this move, and I wish her nothing but happiness in her new home.  I’m so happy that she was able to rent a house that has a backyard for her pups, because I know that was something that was VERY important to her.  I know that she will succeed wherever she goes, and she will spread her sparkle everywhere.  I love you Misiusia!
